A Food Addict’s Solution: The FLAB Card

If you’re a food addict, a slight moment of weakness can easily snowball into a binge. The next time you’re on the edge, reach for this card. It will remind you of the emotions that can trigger your addiction and help you to deal with them in a healthy way.

Before you reach for food, ask yourself: Am I feeling frustrated, lonely, anxious or bored? If those are the reasons you’re going for a snack, the food will not remedy the feeling you’re experiencing. Find a diversion that doesn’t involve eating.
